Welcome to the official GReddy USA blog. -Think of this as our online weekly "GReddy Times," a venue for us to report what's going on or what just happened at GReddy USA this week (new products, new projects, racing news, even online store specials.) On our blog you can see what we are up to in the GReddy Sales floor, R&D garage, on the road or even from our Headquarters in Japan.
The GReddy team kicks off 2016 with a Tokyo Auto Salon "Award for Excellence" in the Tuning Car Category for the TRUST turbocharged Mazda ND MX5.
The ND Miata debuted the new Pandem aero kit designed by TRA Kyoto's Mr. Miura.
And under the hood was a prototype GReddy Turbo Kit for the 1.5L JDM spec engine.
Look for our next blog post with more features of the GReddy ND MX5
Another standout from this year's TAS, was the preview of our next evolution of the GReddy Composite Meter Series, that will be available later this year. (more info. to come...)
The second car in the 2016 TRUST/GReddy TAS booth was a GReddy Turbocharged BRZ featuring some the latest FR-S/86/BRZ GReddy products, including the new FR-S/86/BRZ Trust Racing 6 speed Dog box transmission set.
2016 booth activities included Q&A sessions with GReddy driver's Ken Gushi and Masato Kawabata regarding their experiences driving the GReddy drift R35 and 86 for the Hakone II Drift Attack videos.
Outside the convention hall was the D1GP Series Kick Off Drift Demo. 2015 Drift Champion, Kawabata wowed the TAS crowds in the Team TOYO TIRES Drift - TRUST Racing 35RX SpecD GT-R
2016 is gearing up to be another great year for GReddy, with more new products, projects and fun; let's take a quick look back at some of the accomplishments we achieved in 2015...
At the SEMA Show, GReddy Special Projects Division's 2015 project build was for the Fast and the Furious series star, Sung Kang(Han). This special 1973 Datsun 240Z build, named the "Fugu Z," was documented online inZ Dream a 5 episode series, by the Speed motors on Fox and the eGarage team.
Built in just over 2 months, this special build was finished just in time to reveal before the SEMA Show at the GReddy HQ. It then went on to be featured in the main lobby of SEMA Show and won "Best in Show" in the Gran Turismo Awards(and our 4th Best Asian Import Award)
The GReddy Racing Japanese and USA Teams were equally as successful in 2015 with a D1 Grand Prix Series Championship and a 2nd Overall in the, super competitive, Formula Drift Pro Championships...
In just his 2nd year in the Team TOYO TIRES Drift - TRUST Racing 35RX
Dspec GT-R, Masato Kawabata captures his 3rd D1Grand Prix Series
Championship, with 2x wins (4x podioums) & 1x Top Qualifier in the 5 round, 2015 season.
(plus 3x 2015 Exhibition Event Wins)
2015 also became a break-out season for Ken Gushi and the GReddy Performance - Scion Racing FR-S. In Ken's 4th season with the GReddy Team, Ken produced an impressive 4x podiums, 2x Top Qualifiers as well as record for OMTs in one event in the 7round series. The result for the 2015 Formula Drift Pro Championship was 2nd overall with no signs of slowing down for 2016... Ken's 2nd place finish at the season finale in Irwindale Speedway with an injured car showed his confidence and great driving skill.
